Has anyone ever tried to use Cocoa shell as an organic component in their soil mix before? I saw some at my local nursery for a good price and was wondering if I should consider giving it a test run.
On another note does anyone know where I can find a place that sells Diatomaceous earth around the Chicago land area? I heard it has great qualities for being used as Bonsai soil similar to turface MPV or Akamada and was thinking about maybe trying a mix free of organic mixing the three. Does anyone else have any experience with using it as well? Kind of back and forth between the questions I know
